At the same time, an indescribable feeling came to her heart. She vaguely felt that her mother's life experience might really be hiding an unknown secret.

In her previous life, Shen Qingge was an ignorant and naive girl, living a carefree life all day long, never pondering such questions. Or perhaps, she died with hatred in her heart before she even noticed the clues.

However, in this life, when memories flooded back to her mind like a tide, she was shocked to realize that her mother was different from ordinary women.

Although my mother is gentle and weak, she is strong and resolute in nature, and has both talent and beauty, which is not something an ordinary woman can achieve.

Filled with questions, Shen Qingge came to her grandmother's side and asked softly, "Grandma, how much do you know about my mother's life?"

Upon hearing this, the grandmother, who was busy on her way, stopped and looked at Shen Qingge with suspicion. She asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of my mother!"

Hearing her granddaughter's words, the grandmother reached out and gently stroked Shen Qingge's head, comforting her with a loving heart:

"Could it be that something unfortunate happened while you were out with the officials today, causing you to feel upset? If there is something that makes you unhappy, please tell Grandmother! As a woman, you don't need to bear everything alone!"

Seeing her grandmother's concern, Shen Qingge quickly shook her head and denied it, "It's really nothing, Grandma, please don't worry too much. I really just miss mother."

The grandmother sighed, and her heart was filled with regret when she thought of this caring daughter-in-law.

However, she only heard from her son that his daughter-in-law was from the south and had a clean family background. Later, due to the family's decline, she fled and was rescued by her son. There was no other story.

This daughter-in-law was well-educated and well-mannered, and except for her frail health, she was impeccable. Born into a humble family, she naturally didn't mind her daughter-in-law's background. Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law were getting along well, she never considered letting her son take a concubine.

It’s a pity that beauty is envied by God, and the daughter-in-law passed away so early, but it’s better that she is gone, at least she doesn’t have to endure the pain of her husband and son dying unjustly, and having their property confiscated and exiled!

Then, grandmother told Shen Qingge everything she knew about her mother.

Along the way, Shen Qingge listened quietly without saying a word.

After hearing the last part, she realized that her father had not told her grandmother much about her mother's affairs.

It seems that the mystery of my mother's life experience can only be explored when I have the chance in the future!

While Shen Qingge was still immersed in her thoughts, the group of exiles became noisy again.

Shen Qingge looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was the old man Zhao Du, lying on a wooden cart, foaming at the mouth, his limbs twitching, and unconscious. The Zhao family was so scared that they were at a loss.

Zhao Ping was so frightened that he dropped the handle of the wooden cart and hid aside, watching his father roll off the wooden cart with blood all over his face.

When everyone gathered around, they saw Zhao Du lying face down on the ground, twitching constantly, with a pool of blood on the yellow ground where his head was.

The women from other families had never seen such a scene before, and they screamed and ran away.

Even Shen Qingge's sisters-in-law quickly covered the children's eyes and turned away.

Only the eldest sister-in-law Wang Lan was brave enough and stayed to watch with Shen Qingge.

Officer Ma Si stepped forward and turned the man over. He placed his finger on the tip of Zhao Du's nose and found that he was still breathing. Then he pointed the whip at Shen Qingge and said in a domineering tone:

"You, come and see what's going on!"

At this moment, Zhao Ping roared like crazy again:

"Don't let that vicious woman take my father's pulse! My lord, look, my father is already like this, you should believe it, it's because she had bad intentions and gave my father the wrong food, which delayed his illness!

Shen Qingge, if my father dies, I will make you pay with your life."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingge shrugged his shoulders, turned around without saying a word, and left the crowd.

His mother, Wang, panicked. She grabbed Zhao Ping by the collar and screamed, "Are you crazy? Have you forgotten what the officer just told you? I told you not to offend Madam Shen, but you're the one who's asking for your father's life!"

After saying that, he slapped Zhao Ping twice, hoping that this would wake him up.

Zhao Ping touched his burning face and stood there in a daze. After he came to his senses, he didn't know what to do!

Ma Si also lost his patience with this family and said viciously:

"If you want to die, go die somewhere else. Don't dirty my clothes! You, and you, throw this old man into the ditch next to you!"

The two officers obeyed the order and came to carry the person.

Wang fell to her knees and wailed,

"Sir, please have mercy on me. My master is still breathing. You must not throw him away! My son, go and beg Miss Shen to forgive us and treat your father!"

Zhao Ping was extremely anxious. He stumbled and crawled to Shen Qingge's side, tears streaming down his face.

"Madam Shen, I just spoke without thinking and offended you. Please be kind and save my father!"

Facing Zhao Ping's desperate pleas, Shen Qingge remained indifferent. She didn't even turn her head, but responded coldly:

"I'm truly sorry, I can't help you! If something happens to your father, I'm afraid someone will blame me and ask me to die for it. I don't want that!"

Suddenly, a whimpering sound came from Zhao Du not far away, intermittently.

Everyone gathered around and saw that Zhao Du's face was distorted due to extreme pain, looking extremely hideous and terrifying.

Zhao Ping, who had just been speechless by Shen Qingge's words, no longer cared about anything else. He knelt on the ground with a determined heart, slapping his cheeks madly, and continued to beg for mercy:

"Aunt, please forgive my faults, have mercy on me, and save my father!"

At the same time, seeing this, the rest of the Zhao family members gathered around, knelt down, bowed and kowtowed, and pleaded with Shen Qingge, begging her for help.

The sounds of weeping and pleading were endless...

But Shen Qingge remained calm, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

At this time, the official Li Tian looked down on him and stepped forward and whispered:

"Why don't you just be kind and save him? I'm afraid it'll be embarrassing for the boss if we keep making such a fuss!"

After hearing this, Shen Qingge raised her head and looked directly into Wang Gui's cold gaze without any fear in her heart.

Originally, because of the golden whistle, she could have spared Zhao Du's life for two days. But now, with the Zhao family's attitude so awful, she didn't want to bother with that. Those who don't know how to be grateful don't deserve the kindness of others.

She had many ways to get information, but in her eyes, Zhao Du was no different from a dead man.
